Question:
He asks: Is the one who slaughters the 'aqiqah for the newborn on the third day of his birth considered sinful?
Answer:
No. The limit is... Slaughtering the 'aqiqah is permissible on any day, and praise be to Allah. But the best is that it be on the seventh day; this is better, on the seventh day of his birth. If that does not happen, he slaughters it on any day. Praise be to Allah. Yes.
